Pros and Cons in comparison
Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono 2024
With the Hypermotard 698 Mono, Ducati has produced an incredibly good debut model! The bike takes all the qualities you look for in a road-legal supermoto and raises them to a highly modern and mature level. You won't find a comparable single-cylinder engine these days, while the electronics package rounds off the concept. Yet it is pure, unreasonable and playful - like a real hooligan bike.
Suzuki DR-Z4S 2025
The Suzuki DR-Z4S is an all-round successful comeback - not a shallow retro rehash, but a consistently modernised further development of a popular and proven concept. It remains true to its line: robust, easy to use, versatile and yet capable of many things. It is a bike for a small niche of riders, between hard enduro riders and adventure bike riders. For this niche, however, it fills an important gap as a true dual sport bike and hardly allows itself any weaknesses. The most critical points are the remaining 5-speed transmission and the high price. Whether these points discourage a purchase or whether the DR-Z4S is still worthwhile as a legend and versatile vehicle remains a matter of taste.
